Application filed November 1G, 1914.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, CLAUDE H. Fnnnsn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles, State ofCalifornia', have invented new and useful improvements in Fumigators, ofwhich the following is a specification.

rihis invention relates to a fumigator, and

particularly pertains to a container for dis-U infectants.- l

It is the object of this invention to provide a disinfectant containerwhich is particularly adapted for use in wardrobes, 'trunks and thelike, as a protection against inotlisv andlother insects, and which isso constructed that it may be suspended or laid in i any desiredlocation without danger of surrounding .materials beingriiijured bycontact with the container and in which the parts of the structure areso formed and arranged as to prevent leakage of the disinfectantmaterial.

Another object is to provide a disinfectant container of annularformation adapted to receive an absorptive material saturated with aYvolatileliquid in whichth'e vapors from said liquid are emitted from theinner annular wall of the container and in which the escapey of thevapors from the container' can be inhibited by introducing aclosuremember into the central opening of the container.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which; p Y'Y Figure 1 is a perspective view of the disin-V fectant container. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of same as seen on the line 9,*2 of Fig. l.Y

Y More specifically, 5 indicates the bottom member of the containerwhich consistsvof a sheet metal ring 6 having an upturnedflange.

7 on its outer edge and an upturnedfrtlange 8 on its inner edge; theflange S extending to a height approximately half vthat offthe flange 7.The top portion of the container comprises a ring 9 forniedof sheetmetal having a downturned fiange l0 on its outer edge adapted to engagethe upturned flange 7. The ring 9 is formed with a downturned flange 1lon its inner edge which terminates Specification or" Letters Patent.

a short distance from the upper edge of the flange 8 to form an',annular slot l2. The space incased by the rings 6 and 9 and the iiangesthereon is filled with a suitable absorptive material 13 saturated withany desireddisinfecting or deodorizing solution, the vapors of which areemitted through the annular slot l2.

In the application of the invention, the container thus formed andcharged may be placed in any desired location and position;

it being adapted to be suspended from any suitable support engaged bythe central opening of the container or it may lie flat or be arrangedinany position wherever it is desired to use same. i

As a means for closing the slot l2 to prevent the escape of the vapors acork or other suitable stopper 1A is introduced within the spaceencompassed by the annular flanges 8 and ll as particularly shown inFig. 2; the stopper or closure 14 effectively sealing the slot l2;

What I claim is:.

l. A disinfectant container, comprising an annular memberhaving'achamber therein adapted to receive an absorptive material Vsaturatedwith a disinfecting solution hav ing a slot on its inner peripheral wallto permit the escape of vapors.

2. A disinfectant container, comprising an annular memberv formed withan internal chamber having a slot on its inner annular wallcommunicating with said chamber, and an absorptive material saturatedwith a disinfecting solution arranged within the chamber.

3. A fumigator, comprising a pair of spaced rings having engagingannular flanges on their outer walls and formed with iiangeson theirinner edges toward each other with their adjacent edges spaced apart toyform a slot, and an absorptive material saturated with a disinfectingsolution arranged between said rings.

4. A fumigator, comprising a pair of spaced rings having engagingannular -between said rlngs, and a stopper adapted In Witness thatclamthev foregoing Il have hereunto subscribed my'name this Qith l; dayof October, 1914;. Y Y Y CLAUDE Hymnen.'

other with their adjacent edgesl spaced apart to form a slot, anabsorptive material Saturated Wth a. drslnfectlng solution arranged tobe inserted n the Space encircled by the inner flanges on said rings toseal the slot and prevent the emission of the fumes `from the container.
